Rental customers are hardly immune to the desire to go digital as rentals of upper end televisions and computers continue to grow.

“In the old days, there was only enough innovation for manufacturers to refresh their television products every one to two years. Now, that product life cycle has been shortened and we see new and better sets as much as three times in one year. Rental consumers are clamoring for the latest, greatest picture and we help rental companies meet that demand,” said Adam Carroll, President of New Age Electronics.

Carroll touts his company’s commitment to training all the way down to the employee on the showroom floor. “We work hard to keep the DNA intact on our brands. That means making sure the people on the front lines know the features and benefits of that HP 50-inch HD Plasma set.”

Carroll says rapid changes are taking place in computer rentals, as well. “Notebooks are growing like crazy. We saw a 40% increase last year and we expect at least another 25% increase this year. Rental customers want to be more mobile. They want thinner, lighter notebooks. A much higher percentage of customers are asking for better specs. They want wireless built in, larger screens, lots of features than ever before.”

Carroll says the typical $99 a month computer rental is still strong, but he sees exponential growth in the step-up systems that rent for $129 a month or even $159 a month.

“I credit HP with doing a great job of ‘humanizing’ the computer. Customers are starting to realize their computers can do much more than word processing and email. One example is HP’s ‘Quick Play’ feature which lets notebook users press one button to play a DVD without having to boot up the whole unit.”

New Age Electronics will ship orders UPS ground anywhere within 48 hours. They also offer white glove, direct-to-store or DC shipments.

“Know that we’re focused on the rental industry’s success in the consumer electronics space with great products and above all, with great prices. We understand how to make money for our customers and we are excited to work with RentDirect to create programs to benefit everyone.”
